Take Shenling Baizhu San (Ginseng, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) to treat menstrual diarrhea; take Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) to treat clear, watery stools with cold pain; take Qiwei Baizhu San (Seven-Ingredient Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) to treat feverish skin, thirst accompanied by diarrhea; take Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang (Aucklandia and Amomum Six Gentlemen Decoction) to treat vomiting of phlegm-fluids.
[Note] Diarrhea occurring during menstruation is due to Spleen Qi deficiency (deficiency of the Spleen's transformative function), and Shenling Baizhu San (Ginseng, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) is appropriate. Clear, watery stools with abdominal cold pain are due to Deficient-Cold (cold caused by Yang deficiency), and Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) is appropriate. Feverish skin, thirst, and diarrhea are due to Deficient-Heat (heat caused by Yin or Qi deficiency), and Qiwei Baizhu San (Seven-Ingredient Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) is appropriate. Vomiting of phlegm and fluids is due to Deficient-Dampness (dampness accumulation due to Spleen deficiency), and Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang (Aucklandia and Amomum Six Gentlemen Decoction) is appropriate.
Sanhuang Siwu Tang (Three-Yellow Four-Substance Decoction); Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction)

Menstrual hematemesis or epistaxis persisting after the period, even if Heat remains, should not be treated with purgatives; instead, Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) containing Shaoyao (Peony Root) and Mudanpi (Tree Peony Bark) should be used to clear Heat and cool the Blood.
[Note] Hematemesis and epistaxis occurring before menstruation are caused by internal Heat stagnation forcing blood to move recklessly; Sanhuang Siwu Tang (Three-Yellow Four-Substance Decoction) should be used to purge Fire, which consists of Siwu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction) plus Dahuang (Rhubarb Root), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), and Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome). Hematemesis and epistaxis occurring after menstruation, although Heat may still be present, should not be treated with purgatives; rather, Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) should be used to clear Heat, which consists of Xijiao (Rhinoceros Horn), Shengdihuang (Rehmannia Root prepared fresh), Chishaoyao (Red Peony Root), and Mudanpi (Tree Peony Bark).
